Hello old friend.  I see that the Golden Eagles have a very nice schedule this year.  I was at the playoff game against MNW last year and noticed their defense was young but they can still run up the numbers on offense. Playing a talented Lehigh team along with Venice, Killian and AHP in the regular season should have them ready for the playoffs.  I'm real interested in seeing how this season works out for them.  As you know, I'm a FM person first but will always be a fan of your program. Hope to see you in week 1.  Good luck this year and rep SWFL well.

Great to hear from you!  We need to fill the leadership position at QB, but we have two talented underclassmen to choose from.  The secondary looks really good, not sure how our linebacker core will be.  Coach Rick and our new AD Cassie went after some quality opponents, and I'm sure they will be glad to expose our weak spots. 

I'll be in the booth doing stats for Lehigh, but would love to hook up.  We go to Gulf Coast in two weeks, can't wait.

You probably won't have to be concerned about Fort Myers.  We have a very young group that might be ready next year or the year after.  We have Aquinas at home in week 2 so I'm hoping we can still field a team after that.  We need to hook-up this year.  Hope to see you soon

Im sure you guys will still have a team. I enjoyed playing the green wave back in 2019 in the second round. Great fan base they travel well. Not sure if it’s only when the team is doing good or not but for that game they came in droves

Glad to hear from you, NHS Bob. Can’t wait to see Naples play this season. Will you be attending Naples @ Venice week 2?

You Bet!  We'll be towards the top on the 50, my wife & I record the stats for Coach Martin.  I am glad that we were able to get you guys back on the schedule, iron sharpens iron.

That’s awesome to hear! Should be a great game. Naples can win, but it won’t be easy!

I plan on going to that game.  I wonder how good Lehigh will be with all that star power.  I’ve seen them play 3 times over the years without ever seeing them win.  The last time was 2 years at Charlotte. I know it was only his sophomore year but the Tarpons pretty much shut Richard Young down.

 

I haven’t had hardly any contact with NHSBob since a Sarasota Riverview @ Naples games almost 20 years ago.  My screen name may have been different then(UncleSaluki).  Looking forward to it.

How could I forget that 1st round playoff game!  We were loaded with D1 talent and the game went down to the wire.  In regards to Young, he is fast, and really strong.  If we can slow him down we'll be OK, but if he gets into the secondary, it will be a very long night.

    • So if Dillard wanted to do some of these things you would say no and not support.
    • And that’s where I’m at with it. I’m sure teddy heart is in the right place. But if we’re gonna keep it real, between last year and this upcoming year MNW has received well over 50 transfers a lot of them that are from different counties and stay nowhere near MNW.    some of them maybe because of changing environments for a better life etc etc, but it’s also 2025 and lot of the transfers was to follow the hype train.    while the uber rides can be a touchy subject depending on the kids situation, he also mentioned he needed thousands in donation for recovery, I get it he went pro and a lot of these assets he had in the league, but a lot of what he’s asking for isn’t even a high school requirement.    when I played ball out recovery was a ice bath lol. He then went on to say 4,000 a week for food ? , what are they eating lobster.    then he said for the three day gym stay he had to front 14,000 dollars for the kids. 14,000 to sleep in the gym for 3 days for what I’m assuming is for team building, is still insane. 
    • Nolebull, You are making a good argument for what the rule ought to be or why the rule ought to be changed.   I'm telling you what the rule is.  Interestingly, I witnessed first hand the FHSAA deal with a case that was very similar to the (presumably, hypothetical) one you just described.  A family provided a kid with a bed for the night because that kid had an unfortunate family situation that would have left him homeless for the night had a teammate's family not stepped up and given him a place to stay for the night.  Yep, you got it, impermissible benefit.  Coach and school penalized.  The difficulty is coming up with rules that can't be taken advantage of.  Where do you draw the line?   If paying for an Uber is OK, why can't you just buy the kid a car instead?  More convenient for all parties.  If you can buy a kid a meal, why can't you take his family grocery shopping and let them stock up?  Or, better yet, just give then a gift card and let them spend the money as they please.  What do you do when one school offers up a $1,000 gift card, but another school is willing to give the kid a $2,000 gift card?  Do we really want to turn high school sports into professional sports?
    • Some kids NEED to transfer to get in the best position to change the trajectory of their entire life. Could literally save their life. Difference between going to college and being stuck in your neighborhood getting lost to streets.    And I can only speak for myself, but I’m more interested in a at-risk kid changing his situation for the better in hopes of saving his life than your favorite high school team losing a game because he transferred from your favorite school. 
    • I wouldn’t be so critical of the FHSAA if they didn’t lie and say they give 2 craps about student athletes. I wish people would just be honest. But I guess if they were honest, it would mess up their hustle.
